Sever Mecha Review ByPat Willis#224534

I could have sworn  I did this review already, but it is not showing up on site, and folks have told me it has not aired as of yet. So if anything here is me repeating myself, my apologies.

With that said all pertinent purchase and level information are contained in the image to the side here. Said image does not reflect the mecha sale going on at the time of this writing.

Right off the showroom floor this mecha is equipped to rumble. It sports 2 Duboce niode Lasers, 1 Galaxy Eye niode Laser, 1 Polar Vortex niode Ice weapon, 3 Enveloper crystal Ice weapon, and 3 Focused Icer crystal Ice weapons.

Now from level 0 to current pilot level of mine of 116 the stats without equipment are as follows .... Laser Damage +26%, Freeze 24%, Slow (42), Speed +4, Missile, Projectile, and Fire Damage all at +5%, Ice damage at +47%, Trample at 10%, 3X Damage at 10%, and 2X damage at 20%.

With 5 Cockpit slots, 4 Chassis slots, 5 Engine slots, 5 Shield slots, and 33 weapon slots available to me at present. Now with the Chassis slots you aren't going to be able to make this mecha dance out of the line of fire as easily as some others. However, the cockpit allows for a decent precision score, and the engines if picked right can make it one fast machine. The shield slots give it a well balanced protection system, while your weapon slots open you up to all kinds of mecha carnage options.

On a personal note I have noticed that this mecha handles both niode and crystal weapons or equipment with little difficulty. Some mechas you outfit them and they just do not perform as you think they should. This little 75 ton beast sees no difference really in how it handles both forms of equipment or weapons, and performs rather solidly at all times.  It is a highly reliable mecha in this regard and should be kept around in the hanger to be brought out for tonnage specific tourneys, or weight specialist positions for Clan Wars.

It's primarily a laser and ice weapon specialist with ice coming out over the laser by the numbers, but with small build bonuses available to fire, projectile, and missile, this mecha can be made to give opponents a surprise during combat. Given it is versatile enough to handle all weapon types to some degree with bonuses it is a fine mecha to try out new weapon combinations on. So yes they may be limited compared to the heavier grade mechas, out gunned and out armored, but they will always have a place among their own tonnage range and provide service well into your upper levels.
